Technically speaking, water coolers actually use air when cooling the big radiators.
- leetcrew 7y agoyes, and heatpipes in air coolers also use liquid to transport heat to the radiator. language is messy. all I'm trying to say is that a $60 mainstream "air cooler" that fits in a typical ATX case should be sufficient to cool this chip. it's a trivial cost for anyone considering what's likely to be a $500 cpu. I understand people are still salty about the previous 5 GHz fiasco from last year, but this new part is literally just a binned 9900k. people are already running these at 5 GHz 24/7 without resorting to anything exotic.
